Rolling Down The Hill

We are spending a lot of time outside. The kids are great at entertaining themselves while I mow or work in the garden. They spent about 2 hours planing in the neighbors ditch on Friday. I am very thankful for big yards and Shout stain remover. We are going to have a great summer.

Spring Fun

We went down to the River on Thursday to have dinner with Judy and Lo. Jenn was able to come and join us. There was dinner and fishing. Both Brad and Jenn lost their cell phones in the river. Jenn was able to salvage hers... Brad is using his old phone for now.

Ansley decided to go naked... again. Bowen and Brad have been getting some fishing in this spring. They try to go down to the river in the evenings. Brad's new job is really helping with evening playtime... especially with the long days. They have caught a few fish but mainly just play in the mud,

Biking... Bo is balancing but still not interested in pedalling. Jonny is really getting good at riding this year. They like to race. Ansley just runs behind them.

CRAWL (Cyclists Riding And Wanting Libation) April 2008

The Retro bikes we rescued from the in-laws garage
40 year old 3 speeds from JC Penny

I added the custom basket.

I don't know how many miles we logged on this ride but we had 4 stops.

Accustic Coffee House, Halos, PR's and Bucks Pizza.

Brad also had the traditional ride up the Parking garage.

I was not up for that at midnight on a 50 pound, 3 speed bike.

A Muddy Beginning

Well it looks like the beginning of Biking season... If you can see through the mud and rain. The conditions didn't stop Brad from being the only XC rider to show up at ETSU on Saturday. He followed it up with a great ride at Tsali on Sunday. Lots of fun for Brad... Lots of Laundry for Sara.

Ansley is TWO!!

Ansley celebrated her 2nd birthday this week.

Lots of new toys and movies.

A new dvd player for our summer traveling.

A Strawberry Shortcake sleeping bag for camping.

Mommy made Ansley's cake to match her new bedroom.

It was a lot of fun.

Thanks to everyone.

Spring Planting

The kids and I have really enjoyed these warm days. We have been planting flowers to put in the yard later in the spring. I am training them for when we get ready to put in the garden again.

Easter 2008

Easter Cookie Decorating at the Mall. Ansley ate all the decorations and didn't put any on her cookie. No one wanted anything to do with the bunny. Maybe next year.
Easter pictures didn't go so well. This is why I don't take them to get their pictures done professionally very often. They have a hard time sitting still. So this is as good as it gets. Hope everyone had a great Easter.
